Looking forward to play this on Linux... Maybe by 2020 I've finished playing all the games I got and the port will be ready, hopefully.

What Linux games are you looking forward to this year? Here's my top picks

Quoting: OG SWAT RV@LinuxARMA3 the same Version with windows - oh boy, I love that game !

insurgency-sandstorm - pls bring it to linux !!!
Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass
INSOMNIA: The Ark
Escape From Tarkov
SQUAD - pls bring it to linux
Beyond Enemy Lines 2
Task Force
Having SQUAD and Insurgency-sandstorm in Linux would be great. Also an official release of ARMA 3 would rock.

Quoting: g000hExcuse my ignorance on this, but can you play DayZ on Linux using Arma 3 as the engine?

Also, how good are the single player campaigns and maps (i.e. playing with bots OR as an individual). I'm not really into FPS games where you crawl around all the time sniping - used to call those players "campers" in the good old days. Or, where you have to lead a team / work with a team - more of a deathmatch / lone-wolf player, strafing with shotguns or rocket launchers.
I've never tried to use mods on ARMA 3 running in Linux. As far as I know is possible, but you'd want to dive in the forums to read all the workarounds and do's and don'ts.

The ARMA series are not traditional FPS or deathmatch arena games, but military sims, where you need to work with your team and carry out missions. From what you say you like, I don't think ARMA 3 is the game for you.

Maybe check out some videos on youtube to see how it plays?

Having said that, the single player campaign is great.

Quoting: nox
Quoting: LinuxpunkI wonder if Bohemia will ever make the Linux 'experimental' port official...
This is why I'm still holding off on buying it...
As Liam says, the port works great. It's very heavy on resources, I was getting 30 FPS with a GTX 780, that went up to 60 fps with my new GTX 1080, but it's also a demanding game on Windows. I can't advise you to buy it, but I'm happy with my purchase.
